Name: Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology As an answer to the increasing number of early school leavers, many countries in the EU have developed second chance education programmes. Obtaining minimum qualifications prevents children on the move from vulnerability, exposition to abuse, exploitation and trafficking. To ensure that children with a migrant background complete school education ROBIN wants to equip the teaching staff involved in programmes of second chance with tools that extend the capabilities of specific support. ROBIN enhances the exchange of best practices between educators and develops integrated training methods that bring together learning, coaching and support by means of psychosocial activities. The aim of ROBIN project is to support teachers and pedagogical staff to reinforce their personal and social capabilities for specific support and successful social integration of students from marginalized groups affected by early school leaving. Thus children “on the move” will be better prevented from early school leaving and the risk of social exclusion. |

ROBIN contrubuted in two years time to change the perspectives and perceptions of hundreds of educators by involving them in hands-on activities, demonstrating and trying out children and youth affected by migration can be educational and psychosocially supported in their quest for a second chance in life.
As you went through section after section, you probably noticed that behind all training activities and all our endevours, just one aspect makes all the difference and that is dedication.
Know and Can Association has the pleasure to invite you to take part in the next session of training seminars in the frame of project ROBIN Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology, №2015-1-RO01-KA204-015001, which will start on 06.09.2017 – Sofia, (Bulgaria) - (2 workshops)
Know and Can Association has the pleasure to invite you to take part in a training seminars in the frame of project ROBIN Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology, №2015-1-RO01-KA204-015001, which will start on the following dates:
12.06.2017 – Pernik (Bulgaria)
19.06.2017 – Sofia, (Bulgaria) - 2 workshops
The seminars are aimed at teachers, trainers, psychologists, pedagogical counselors and other pedagogical staff, representatives of NGOs and educational institutions and other stakeholders. During the events representatives of Know and Can Association will present the innovative learning methodology based on experiential learning by means of psychosocial activities. The new methodology is specifically aimed at the so-called "Children on the move" (refugees, migrants dropping out of school, representatives of minority groups, etc.) and aims to increase their interest in the training process and prevent them from dropping out of school.
We are happy to inform you that the first intellectual products created in the frame of project ROBIN Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology №2015-1-RO01-KA204-015001 are already accessible on the website of Know and Can Association and could be downloaded free of charge.
The project ROBIN supports trainers and educators to reinforce their personal and social capabilities for specific support and successful social integration of children with migrant backgrounds affected by early school leaving. Thus children in a migrating situation will be better prevented from early school leaving and the risk of exclusion.
As an answer to the increasing number of early school leavers, many countries in the EU have developed Second Chance education programs in order to reintegrate children and youths in schools so that they can obtain minimum qualifications. Children enrolled in Second Chance programs are mostly underqualified early-school leavers, who have difficult access to employment and often lack basic social skills to adequately integrate into the society, thus making them more vulnerable and exposed to abuse, exploitation and mistreatment.
Many of these children and youths have migrant background (children on the move) which makes them especially vulnerable. Therefore there is an immediate need to develop inclusion programs and adequate teaching methodologies to encourage migrant children to stay enrolled in education programs and lower their marginalisation.
On June 13th and 14th the second partner meeting under project ROBIN (“Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology”, number: 2015-1-RO01-KA204-015001) was held in the office of Know and Can Association. Members from all of the five partner organizations Elvetia (Bucharest, Roamnia), die Berater (Wien, Austria); Know and Can Association (Sofia, Bulgaria), INTRAS (Valladolid, Spain) CSC Danilo Dolci (Palermo, Italy) took part in the meeting.
The team of Know and Can continues its work under the project ROBIN Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology, with project number 2015-1-RO01-KA204-015001.
Till the moment, was conducted a Research study on the current methodologies used within second chance programmes (especially for children on the move). The research was realized simultaneously in all partner countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Austria and Spain). As leader in the production of this Intellectual output, Know and Can’s staff collected and analyzed the results from the national researches and afterwards prepared a Common Report on the Research study on the current methodologies used within second chance programmes.
The active work on the project „ROBIN- “Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology” with project number: 2015-1-RO01-KA204-015001, continues.
The activities which we are currently implementing were agreed during the first partner meeting in Bucharest. The event was held in January and was organized by the Romanian organisation(and project coordinator) Terre des hommes. Representatives of all partner organizations attended the meeting. The Bulgarian participation was ensured by the managers of Know and Can Association. The event lasted one day and during it were discussed several issues: already implemented activities, as for example the Plan for Research of the methodologies used within the second chance programmes for children on the move and on the other hand, the activities which will be implemented in future- as for example the realization of the research; the elaboration of Risk mitigation plan etc.
